A CHURCH of England vicar inhales from a crack pipe and says: “I’m a very happy man.”

The
Rev Stennett Kirby, 64, smoked the highly-addictive Class A drug and
snorted cocaine in shocking scenes at his church-owned home.

The
respected community figure also watched porn, and chatted about escorts
and a trip to Soho to buy liquid chemical poppers, which gives users a
head rush.

Footage obtained by The Sun on Sunday shows Mr Kirby spark up his crack pipe as he relaxes on a sofa with a pal.

His friend then says: “You’re happy now, innit?” The churchman replies: “I’m a very happy man. I love it.”

He is seen staring at a TV, apparently watching porn, and adds: “It f***ing turns me on when I have this and I watch that.”

Mr
Kirby, vicar of West Ham Parish Church in East London since 2007, then
makes a crude MouthAction reference and refers to women in a lewd way.

The
vicar and his pal also discuss hiring a Follow and he says: “I wish I
could. If I had money, I would. I’ve only got £10 left.”

When his
friend tells him he prefers prostitutes to having a relationship,
unmarried Mr Kirby — on sick leave from work — agrees.

Mr Kirby, known by his middle name Roger, says: “It’s too much hassle, that’s what I told you about women.”

Later his pal asks him: “Shall I make you a cocaine spliff?” Mr Kirby replies: “If you don’t mind.”

As
music plays, the vicar reveals he is planning a trip to central London
the next day. He says: “I’m going to Soho with my mate for dinner. I’m
going to sex shops to get some poppers.” Possession is not illegal.

In
other footage Mr Kirby, whose brother is a minister, can be seen
snorting coke. His pal says taking it off the back of his hand is
easier. Seconds later Mr Kirby says approvingly: “That is good.”
